Holiday Horror Night on Black Friday at The Hollywood Theatre

Featuring horror films, contests, giveaways and holiday gift drive to benefit non-profit children’s agency

(I-Newswire) November 17, 2009 - The Hollywood Theatre, in partnership with Horror Realm, Pittsburgh's modern horror convention, presents an alternative to shopping and football for horror fans on November 27, the day after Thanksgiving.

Holiday Horror Night features two Santa slasher films which have become cult classics – Silent Night Deadly Night (1984) and Christmas Evil (1980), also known as You Better Watch Out. The first movie begins at 7 PM; the second at 9:30 PM. Tickets are $6 per movie (must be purchased separately) and may be purchased at the door.

The Horror Realm team is planning some interactive events in addition to the screenings that night including an appearance by “Psycho Santa” who will be passing out goodies to the naughty and nice; a holiday horror trivia contest hosted by Tim Gross of Gross Film Reviews and Bastards of Horror; a Christmas karaoke contest; and giveaways to theater patrons.

The event will also feature a holiday gift drive to benefit clients of The Bradley Center, an accredited, regional behavioral healthcare and child welfare system that provides hope to young girls and boys. Bradley is committed to advocacy for children and dedicated to the restoration of productive relationships among children, their families and the community whenever possible. For more information, visit www.thebradleycenter.org. Patrons wishing to donate to the drive are asked to bring an unwrapped gift. Suggested gift items for any age group include:

• Arts & crafts items or kits
• Local sports team clothing, hats or gifts
• Gift cards for department stores, restaurants, entertainment venues, etc.

Horror fans are encouraged to awaken from their post-Thanksgiving tryptophan comas, get off the sofa and come out to the Hollywood Theatre for this one-night only event.
